B Lab has announced its Best for the World Honorees for 2017 and among the list of B Corporations honored is Sunrise Banks, winning in the Overall category for the fifth consecutive year.

“We are humbled to be named Best for the World again,” says Sunrise CEO, David Reiling, “it is proof that investing in our community’s success and empowering all people to succeed is not only the right thing to do, it’s a successful way to do business.”

In addition to their Overall honor, Sunrise has also been named “Best for Customers”, and “Best for the Long Term” after their company score in B Lab’s B Corp scoring matrix was among the top percentiles of all B Corporations internationally.

The Best for the World Awards highlight companies using the power of business to achieve a higher purpose than profit maximization. They strive to use business as a force for good: good for workers, good for communities, good for the environment. They redefine success in business by competing to be not just best in the world, but best for the world.

Sunrise Banks has been a certified B Corporation since 2009 and was the first company to hold the distinction in Minnesota.
